– Desde miúda que gosto de casas de bonecas com todos aqueles fantásticos pormenores em miniatura. A comida, e especialmente os doces, sempre foram das minhas miniaturas favoritas e como tal sempre quis experimentar fazer algumas. Depois de passar uns dias a brincar com a plasticina do Tiago resolvi finalmente agarrar no caderno onde tenho …
– Food miniature earrings
– Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved doll houses. And the part that fascinated me the most was the miniature food. A few years ago I finally bought a proper doll house kit that I built and decorated. Some of the first things I bought were a miniature pie, bread and a …
– Hooked on chain maille
– I’ve loved chain maille for a long time but it wasn’t till recently that I really set out to learn how to make it. I love the way metal can feel as soft and flexible as fabric and how you can make such elaborate designs using nothing but little jump rings. The very first …
– Novo vicioNovo vicio
– Há já algum tempo que andava com vontade de experimentar fazer peças em cota de malha. É uma técnica que adoro desde que era miúda mas que ainda não tinha tido oportunidade de aprender. Quando era pequena, uma colega da escola tinha um porta moedas em cota de malha e eu adorava brincar com …
– Beach glass ring
– After making the previous necklace and bracelet from beach-found glass, I was asked to make a matching ring and this is the result. I used an adjustable ring frame to support the net that holds the glass piece and then wrapped the frame in the same 0,3mm wire to give it extra texture.
– Beach glass necklace and bracelet
– A friend asked me to make a couple of pieces out of some glass she found at the beach. It’s broken glass from some bottles that has been smoothed by the action of the sea and the sand – a natural tumbler: it may take a bit longer but gets the work done. Since …
– Branch necklace
– After making the branch earrings it was only a matter of time until I could make a matching necklace. It took a bit longer and my fingers were very sore from coiling all that wire but I’m proud of the result. It looks different from anything I’ve seen and it’s pretty and elegant (I’m …
– The life of a blue necklace
– When I first started making jewelry for my online store I made several very simple necklaces because I like simplicity and because I needed more than a couple of items to start the store. Some of those first necklaces never sold because they were not very original and so I’ve started recycling the beads …
– Branch earrings
– I’ve been really busy making new stuff to take to the stores that carry my jewellery and while making a truckload of my coil rings, and getting a bit tired of doing the same thing, I had an idea of how to make matching earrings and was very pleased with the result. The coiling …
– Mosaic pendant
– I’ve been meaning to make a mosaic pendant for some time. It’s a great piece for using left-over beads but at the same time it requires a careful selection so that the color and size of all the beads works together. It also needs one or two larger beads that work as focal points …
– creativity, copyright, inspiration and design theft
– I have a college degree in communication design which basically means I’ve studied and have had an interest in the visual arts for most of my life. And for as long as I can remember, whenever the students were supposed to do any creative work, there was always someone talking about how wrong it …
